NEW AND IMPORTANT 0PIEIoNi s OF PULMONARY EXPERTS
Can the Universal. Consumption bs
 Suocs.sfully Treatedf

Dr. Borgeon, leading French doctor has new treatment for consumption.
 He gives an enema of carbonic acid sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the lattei gas carrying the former into every par of the throat and lungs.
 Inns treatment, too, IS directed a efects-the cause remains undlsturoed
 What this caus eis has been stated by perhaps the highest pulmonary authority Tn the world, [. C., the Brompton Hos pItal for Consumptives, Tn London, Eng
 This malady every year carries ot iron one-seyenth to one-tifth of the entire population of Englandl
 Dr. Payne, MD, M.R.C.P., London, ii authority for this statement.
 The same or greater proportion O. deaths obtains in America.
 Dr. Payne also says that one-hah the total number of deaths from all othsi causes have seeds of this disease in the systom which only require some irritant to develop!
 Dr. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent German authority, says that consump- ton is caused by deficient nutrition oi the lungs, by poor blood.
 These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical world recognizes them. The uric acid is the irritant in the blood that causes the development of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
 Every particle of blood which passes through the lungs and heart, also goet through the kidneys, and if they are in the least deranged they cannot rid the blood of its killing poison. The thousand little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up and diseased !; and when they do, they corrupt instead of purifying the blood. Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, because 1t is deficient in nerves oi sensation.
 Dip your finger in acid every day and it soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid poisoned blood through the lungs every second, and they soon give way.
 The Brompton Hospital investigation showed that g per cent. of the victims 0f consumption were afflicted with de- ranged kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poison to remain in the blood and irritste the lungs. This uric acid is al ways fighting every vital organ, and ii there be any inherent weakness in the lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia, cough and consumption.
 The real cause of pulmonary troubles being so authoritatively shown to be faulty even though unsuspected action oi the kidneys, explains why, in order to master the dreaded consumption, one must rid the blood of the uric acid irri- tant which infiames and burns up the lung substance. For this purpose there is nothing equal to that great specific, Warmers safe cure. This remedy has now the favor of medical men all over the world purely on its merits. We have no doubt that Il the kidneys are kept in natural action, consumption and a great many other diseases, caused by uric acid, | vlll not only be cured but will be pre- vented.
 When the kidney is healthy, no albu- men appears in the water, but albumen is found in the water of more than half of those who die of consumption,
 This, then, Is the condition of things that always precedes consumption: First, weakened kidneys; second. re- tained uric acid, poisoning the blood {; l third, the development of disease in | the lungs by the irritant acids passing l through them. Then there is S little | cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow matter is spit up, followed by loss of |
  sweats and when the patient goes 10 his school physician for help, he is put on cod-liver oil which his stomach, weak ened also by uric acid in the blood, can not digest. Because there is no pain present in the kidneys, the patient does not think they are affected, but the kid ney acid is doing its work every minute, every hour, day and night, and by-and-by the disease of the lungs has advanced until pus is developed, then come henor- Images, and at last the slassy stare which denotes that the end is near
 A pOst-mOrtem examination of such cases shows that the terrible uric acid has completely destroyed the substance of the lung.
 .t is impossible to cure lung disease when the blood IS poisoned with uric acid.
